For all of you groaning and moaning about what's authentic Italian and what's not, I got a message for you: get off your high horse and enjoy the food. First of all, you're in TX, Lakeway, no less and you're expecting what? The food at Ciola's is great for what it is. I grew up in NY/NJ for most of my life and as an ex restaurateur from NY the food at this establishment is better than most places in TX. I don't live in Austin but I try to stop by here whenever I go out there since Italian food in Houston is disappointing. BTW, the wine selection, for the caliber of this place, is impressive. I highly recommend Ciola's to anyone looking to get a good Italian mean.
Pros: Food & Wait staff
Cons: Location
